Transcription That's Actually Free

No per-minute fees. No cloud uploads. No usage limits. Runs on your machine, forever.

100% FREE - Runs Locally

You just recorded 30 minutes of content. Now you need captions, descriptions, tags, and a title. It all starts here.

Transcription is the backbone of Loki Studio. From one transcript, Loki generates your captions, descriptions, tags, and thumbnail text. A 30-minute video transcribes in about 3 minutes on your GPU. Your videos never leave your computer.

  • Free forever. No API keys, no cloud fees, no usage caps
  • GPU-accelerated. 2-22x faster than CPU
  • Word-level timestamps for karaoke-style captions
  • Separate mic from game audio (up to 4 tracks)
  • Strips filler words ("um", "ah", "like") automatically
